    I guess GF is keeping with the governors ask to build up and not out because of the cost of infrastructure

    seems like there is a lot of room to expand around the alerus , don’t know what they will do with that farmstead that is directly south of the Alerus 

     

     

    something is going on south of the new condos/apartments on 42nd south the AL

    The Grand Forks Townhouse Hotel used to be right there. 

    yep...thought you meant a different hotel than the townhouse...the beacon is built where the townhouse used to be...

    Didn't there used to be a civic center and a hotel there along with GF Central? 

    not sure about hotel...but the apartments with the yellow balconies was the former civic center...

    You’re correct, football is the #1 most profitable collegiate sport, but it requires large stadiums; not 10k-20k like FCS North Dakota and North Dakota State support.

    As mentioned, I think the lack of communication and leadership from the CC and AA is contributing to the lack of funds from football alumni and potential donors. Heck, throw the coaching staff in there too, because wins matter as does their outreach. UND just doesn’t appear to try hard enough, or, dare I say it, they hired people not competent enough for the job description.

    Again, we can agree to disagree, but I think hockey is profitable only because of the $100M gift they received from Vegas. Sure, it’s sustainable, but not projected to break even for nearly 100 years of hockey. Profits are only around $1M per year, but yet the investment was $100M? Doesn’t add up. Sure, there are non hockey events that add to the $1M annual profit, but not significantly. Bottom line, you’re not going to get a bunch of profit with UND athletics, so it just comes down to where you allocate the funds. Either way, UND hockey won’t be losing their $100M gift/facility, so they’ll be at an advantage even if they lose some of their unnecessary funding to und football. Heck, hockey (and the fans) would barely notice if they lost 500-1000k to football. 

    100%

    ASU did beat #6 UND on neutral ice last season, 3-2

    The last few years since covid, when ASU played every game on the road in the B1G, the program lost its early momentum. BUT, with the new arena and a great class and transfers coming in, we expect to be back up competing to make the NCAA Tourney. Obviously we're not in the same class as historic elite programs like UND and DU, but we should be consistently competitive. 

    please get traded for wester mich or miami...please

    Why shouldn't hockey have had it?
    Back in the day Cal Marvin did the work to make a program. 

    Today?
    Hockey is putting a quarter million butts in seats.
    Hockey is the reason there's any Midco television deal.
    Hockey earned and earns it and yes, had a big benefactor. 

    You despise hockey, that much is clear. What is not is why. A player steal your girlfriend or something? 


    But you are correct in one way: Where is football's "Cal Marvin" or "Ralph"? Since 1883, why hasn't that one appeared. 

    has anyone called dr death or chippy?  

  10. i see the Beacon is gonna add a third "tower" at the site of the old town house....one is apartments, one for condos, and one (the one that hasn't started consturction) will be a hotel....

    interesting.

    Maybe the city can use some of the $300 million tax proposal for a motorized trail.

    Problem solved.

    Why fight it? Seems like the demand is there for it.

    People would love to take their golf carts for a nice evening ride on the greenway as the sunsets.

    Someone might want to tell the Greenway Dictator that golf carts are designed to be driven on grass without damage...

    Make Grand Forks Fun Again! :)
